Oh...so tired.
This morning, after a long night of hours of dealing with technical glitches on the software I'm using for my MSc (grrrr) I was up and in this morning to do 3 sets of my butt exercises (step ups with knee raise, one legged deadlifts and dunbell squats), a few shoulder and back reps (standing rows and deltoid lifts) and then got to plop into the lovely warm pool and do 11 laps. I love my swims.
It's finally warming up here. I heard birds this morning! 2 chickadees on either side of the path singing to each other...made me grin from ear to ear. :)
I was in to work on time with my breakfast and coffee (still haven't won anything with all my Tim's coffee...), and now it's time to harass tech support again and see what can be done. Here's hoping I can fix things and not have to redo 2 weeks of work because someone else goofed up something. It's annoying to be the one using new cutting edge software for things...you get to discover the bugs in the system. At least 6 times since I've started my MSc I've been told by various tech help that "wow- we've never seen that happen before. How odd. I'm not sure how to fix that". Fun on a bun.
Here's to magic and a little luck.
Later taters!
LATER: HA! I fixed it myself. Take THAT ineffectual tech support!
I am so smart. I am so smart.
I began this blog while learning to run and training for my very first race! Now I'm just your friendly neighborhood mad scientist still trying to live a healthy life...day by day :)

Feel like I'm missing out
Last night was a long night. I finally crawled into bed and got to sleep and blinked and my husband got home late from celebrating shooting/wrap party of the 100th episode of his local music show. A huge accomplishment. I'm so proud of him...I tried to celebrate with him and share his joy, but I was so tired. I couldn't be there...because I was working. Again. Being too busy to enjoy your partner's successes sucks. Like a super sonic hoover.
At any rate, enough moping. This AM I got up and went in to work out. Being tired and vaguely grumpy I thought I'd try something different than the bike so I did a 40 minute crosstrain program on the arc trainer. And after a few minutes I loved it. No knee issues, and by the end of it I was feeling better. I did come core work and broke out the ball and medicine ball and did a bunch of ab stuff. I have healthy meals packed and it may take a lot of caffeine, but I'll survive the day I think.
If you are looking for some good workout tunes an like dance music - may I suggest the Sound of Trance podcasts. they're usually 1+ hours of mixed seamless trance and dance music. Nothing shreaky, but a constant beat that keeps you going. I find they're my workout track a lot. It's what I listened to today. Kept me going when I wanted to stop and curl up in the corner and nap.
New favourite snack when working late? 1/2 c 1% cottage cheese with 1/2 c cantaloupe. Mmm...brain food. :)
Have a good day guys. I will keep my chin up and nose to the grindstone and whatever euphamism I can think of to get thru today.
Cheers.
